my hangover lasted a day after i read hbp

mine lasted until I started rereading it. and then I had another one... interesting article... love the theories!

Well the idea that Snape may have been at Godric's Hollow, or perhaps he may not have been there actually, but that he asked Voldemort not to kill Lily is quite interesting, and frankly, one which never occured to me.

Personally I think that as strange as the words double-double agent may seem, Snape is still on the good side. After all, jus t like Dumbledore had said, "Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." Asking someone to kill you may not seem like the best way to help someone, but I'm sure HP7 will be able to answer that perfectly for us.

Thats a good theory! Wow i never thought of that. But then i never knew that JK has hinted that there was someone else at Godrics Hollow. Cool!

yep same here! They are good theories, and very interesting but i didn't know Jo hinted at them. Still i don't think Snape is a 2x-2x, i think he was a 2x, aka EVIL.

Poor Dumbly *sob*

xxx

My Hangover is still going on. I love snape though and I really hope he is not bad.

Hmm... interesting theory...

Wow! Great theory! But I still think Snape is a bad guy!!

hmm..very intresting...hmm..

Ottery is...wondering who goes around making up these ridiculous theories...
 

Of all the ...I mean...complete...blathering idiocy...

Snape is incapable of love.

Voldemort is not Snape's lackey it's the other way around.

What idiot came up with? Of all the...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Snape is evil people...don't be fooled. <_< <_< <_< <_< <_<

My hangover is not over, and will not be over until the next book comes out. :faint:

Those are cool theories. I didn't think of those.

I'm still hungover like crazy!!!

weird.....

When did JK hint that someone else may have been at Godric's Hollow?

Wrong. Jo even said in her interview with Emerson that love is the difference between LV and Snape; Snape understands it, the Dark Lord doesn't. He showed compassion to Narcissa in Chapter 2. Jo also said he has been loved in the past and when saying Lupin liked Lily, refused to confirm if Snape also admired her.

Otts, my friend, nothing is black and white. Snape is most definitely GREY.

The clues are there :shifty:. He's so not.

In the Emerson/Melissa/JKR interview.

Great theory. I still have a small hangover and I still think that Snape is evil.

Huh, interesting. Never knew that some one else was hinted at being there. Though I'm a bit iffy about the Snape being loyal thing, I'm pretty sure that snape being at godric's hollow wouldn't affect Voldemort in any way.

This makes me think alot more about different things that could happen. Argh....i just need the 7th book lol.

I had a slight hangover for a few days after I read the book..I was at soccer camp so I couldn't exactly think very hard after being so physically exhausted. Good theories though.. I loved the book, but was slightly disappointed in the way she kind of jumped around a bit too much and left things sort of 'haning'. Hopefully she'll tie everything up in the last enstallment of HP. I've heard that J.K. Rowling was thinking about making a book or two of HP AFTER they had gotten out of Hogwarts. Has anyone else heard that?

She's said book 7 is the last and that'll have an epilogue telling us what happened to the characters later in life.

that's a really good theory

I think my hangover resulted not from a few of the major twists in the plot but just...I was expecting a bit more, and not everything I felt was explained.

The problem with the sparing Lily theory--why would Lord Voldemort have agreed to a request from his Death Eater, especially one like that? Hmm...
